Jo då, dom lever och jobbar på HobbyKing. Fick ett mail i onsdags ang. ett garanti-ärende. Sen har dom skeppat två paket till mig den senaste veckan. Det ena kom till svenska tullen igår, det andra ska ha lämnat ursprungslandet enligt Singpost. Jag avbeställde en lipo i den ena ordern för att få det att röra sig och efter det tog det nog några dagar, kanske en vecka innan det faktiskt skeppades. Dom är långsammare än vanligt på International Warehouse just nu. Och bristen på info om lipo-frakt är underkänt i min åsikt. Troligen sista gången jag beställer lipo från HobbyKing IW.
HobbyKing International Warehouse - sänder inte med post!??

Fick precis detta nyhetsbrevet, förklarar en hel del om att de har haft det hektiskt det sista.
I korta drag, Hong Kong har startat en policy att öppna och inspektera alla utgående paket samt har skärpta regler om LiPo frakt etc, så detta påverkar all frakt från Hong Kong, inte bara HobbyKings.
Paket som tullen nekar skickas tillbaks till HobbyKing som då skickar om dem med ett annat fraktalternativ som tillåter LiPo utan extra kostnad för kunden.
Vidare kommer ett nytt servicecenter öppnas i USA samt att EU-lagret kommer att utökas för att kunna ge bättre service i Europa.
Så det är stökigt nu men kommer bli avsevärt bättre men både service och lagerhållning.
Dear Olof,
URGENT UPDATE
Our International Warehouse based in Hong Kong has been affected by changes in Hong Kong Customs policy. The new Customs Department policy is to inspect ALL parcels leaving Hong Kong (not just HobbyKing) and is refusing to accept shipments containing certain items.
This has caused two major issues that I wish to address:
Issue One
All orders containing lithium-based batteries that were placed between the 23rd of September and 2nd of October have been refused by customs and are being returned to our shipping dock in Hong Kong. Some orders not containing these items could also have been affected. This has also caused further delays to orders containing these items due to the backlog.
To remedy this, we at HobbyKing are upgrading all returned shipped items to a premium courier provider that will deliver your parcels to you shortly.
Issue Two
Due to the above issue, our Customer Service channel has been overwhelmed. This means that unfortunately all customers will have difficulty contacting Customer Service and for this we sincerely apologise.
If you are trying to contact customer service, please know that we WILL get back to you as soon as possible. To improve efficiency and improve response time, we request that you create just ONE support ticket. Your help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
To ensure that this does not happen again, we are:
- Integrating SCS Express as a shipping option from Hong Kong to Europe. SCS have their own in-house Customs officers which will streamline the process and ensure faster dispatch and delivery.
- Establishing another Customer Service Centre in the United States which will be staffed by modelers and will be able to answer all technical product enquiries. This is in addition to our two other Customer Service Centers.
- Expanding our existing EU warehouse so that more customers can enjoy lower shipping costs and receive their orders quickly.
- Negotiating with different shipping companies to be able to offer a complete range of shipping options.
As you can see, we are urgently taking steps to fix this issue. We have all hands on deck packing orders and answering emails (from Senior VPs to secretaries to janitors) to ensure that this backlog is met. We expect to be up-to-date within the a couple of weeks.
Please know that we strive to provide you with the best possible service. We regret any inconvenience or frustration that you have experienced.
Your patronage is important to us, and we hope that you will continue to give us opportunities to serve you.
Sincerely,
Anthony Hand
President

Kan inte vara roligt och driva en firma som säljer en produkt som fraktbolagen helt plötsligt vägrar skeppa. Har alltid fått bra service av HK så jag litar på att de löser det. Nu fick jag mail att mina batterier är på väg. Härligt.Kommentar

Fick mail idag att mina grejor är skickade, äntligen. Kompisen som väntat ännu längre fick också ett kollinummer idag. Det mysko är att båda våra paket går iväg via Singapore trots att ingen av oss har några batterier i försändelsen. Har Hobbyking kommit på kant med HongKong-post på allvar, eller har det bara kört ihop sig där?Kommentar

Jag gav upp och krävde att få en återbetalning till PayPal. Fick ett mail för några dagar sedan - HK skulle "refund" mina pengar. Dock skulle det ta ca sju dagar "accounting procedures". Så nu får vi se vad som händer!??Kommentar

Ny video från HobbyKing med en rapport om hur det går för dem. Uppenbarligen är situationen rätt kritisk. De till och med citerar Churchill i videon: This is not the beginning of the end, but it may be the end of the beginning.

Fick återbetalning från HK till mitt PayPal konto efter sju dagar som de lovat. Hur ser det ut nu har ni fått leveranser från HK sista dagarna? Behöver beställa en fläkt till en EDF som jag bara hittat hos HK International Warehouse.Kommentar

Jag fick ett paket idag, beatällt ca mitten på september och skulle inte ingå i dem som fick gratis uppgradering av frakten, men det fick jag ändå efter några mail.
Skickades i lördags från HK och anlände lunch idag(mån) FedEx express verkar alltså extremt snabbt om de kan göra om det!
(innehöll LiPo)

Måste vara helt nya regler, eller så slinker ett och annat under radarn, antar jag. Fick hem ett paket från HK i Kina i mitten på september med 4 st 3S 5000-ackar. Det är ju dubbelt upp mot en sån 6S-ack.Kommentar
